  • Acne????

    I'm on my 6th day of Induction and I'm noticing that I'm having some severe breakouts and this isn't normal for me. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Acne is usually caused by stress and hormones. Just follow the regular teenager routine for your break outs.

    Make sure you are doing your Atkins properly---drinking your water, taking your vitamin supplements and eating your veggies.

        Maybe it's stress, I'll have to go to the dermatologist to see. I didn't have acne problems as a teenager so I never really used anything. I take my vitamins but I have been slacking on my water intake so that may be it. Thanks guys for the insight.

          Here's some information I posted about Acne on a Thread by DesertRain (Jane).
          #5 #11 #13 #14 #15
          Some great advice and info from others aswell.
          I noticed when I first began Atkins. Going through Induction and Detoxing, how my face broke out aswell. I think it was just part of the detoxing. Getting all the chemicles and preservatives that are in processed and simply carb foods out of my system.
          It wasn't normal for me to have breakouts like that either.
          I have found by following the Atkins WOE and drinking nothing but water, that my skin is flawless. No foundation make-up for me.
          Hope this helps.

                  Yes, I still have breakouts. I'm going to use the suggestions from the posts that Sherri made. Hopefully with that they will clear up. I can't have a bangin body and a messed up face.

                    lol I hear ya. My Acne Free Severe is like ProActive, but a lot cheaper. I have to use the stuff for a couple of days and my face clears up! It's gone up in price though.

                      I've used that as well as proactive, the only thing that works for me is antibiotics from the dermatologist but after reading the posts from Sherri, I see the bacteria connection and I know it will probably clear itself up when my body finishes detoxing and all the bad bacteria die .

                      Hey Sherri,

                      If you drop back by can you let me know how you post links from other posts? Thanks
